Brief summary
This study evaluates the comparison of the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia preoperative clinic and a group with postoperative prescription.
Detailed description
The ambulatory surgery increased over the last twenty years in France. The management of home pain after ambulatory surgery is a major challenge because it is the principal complication after day surgery with several consequences: nausea and vomiting, chronic pain, functional impairment with handicap, sleeping troubles, extra-hospital consultation. Management of home pain remains currently could be performed in ambulatory surgery. The French Society of Anesthesiology recommends to deliver pre-surgical prescription during the preoperative anesthesia clinic but this guideline is not bases on evidence in the literature. Also, we have previously shown in a retrospective non-randomized work a decrease of postoperative home pain in patient with general anesthesia. The main objective of this controlled and comparative study is to compare the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia consultation and a group with postoperative prescription.
Interventions
The first group will have a pre-operative prescription delivered during the preoperative anesthesia clinic and the second group will receive the postoperative prescription.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early home pain after ambulatory surgery | 24 hours after ambulatory surgery | The primary outcome is the incidence of at least one home pain experience with intensity greater than 3 on a scale from 0 to 10 within 24 hours after surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intense painful experience during hospitalisation | Day 1 | Incidence of a pain experience at mobilization or at rest of intensity greater than 3 on a scale from 0 to 10 during hospitalisation. |
| Low painful experience during hospitalisation | Day 1 | Incidence of a pain experience at mobilization or at rest of intensity lower than 3 on a scale from 0 to 10 during hospitalisation. |
| Low home pain experience | 24 hours after ambulatory surgery | Incidence of a pain experience at mobilization or at rest of intensity lower than 3 at home on a scale from 0 to 10 within 24 hours after surgery |
| Intense home pain experience | Within 7 days after ambulatory surgery | Incidence of home pain at mobilization or at rest of intensity greater than 3 on a scale from 0 to 10 within 7 days after surgery. |
| Adherence to analgesic treatment | Within 7 days after ambulatory surgery | Adherence to analgesic treatment in relation to prescription (yes or not) |
| Patient's satisfaction | Within 7 days after ambulatory surgery | Patient's satisfaction with prescribed treatment (scale from 0 to 10, satisfying opinion defined by a score greater than 8) |
| Use of morphine analgesics | Within 7 days after ambulatory surgery | Incidence of morphine analgesic use |
